The world's top ranked golfer, Tiger Woods, and his immediate predecessor, Rory McIlroy, will wield their Nike clubs in The Match at Mission Hills at Haikou , Hainan Island, on Monday.

The 18-hole exhibition on the par-73 Blackstone Course at the massive 180-hole resort will be the second one-on-one showdown in China between two of the game's most popular players.

McIlroy edged Woods by a stroke at a chilly and damp Lake Jinsha International Golf Club, Zhengzhou, Henan province, last year.
